Find Your Middle Ground

Love is at the Heart

choose love

“Love is at the heart of all things. How you feel but reflects your decision to accept love or to reject it and choose fear. Both cannot be chosen.
All feelings you label joyous or compassionate are of love. All feelings you label painful or angry are of fear. This is all there is.
This is the world you make. Love or fear is your reality by your choice.
A choice for love creates love. A choice for fear creates fear.
What choice do you think has been made to create the world you call your home?
This world was created by your choice, and a new world can be created by a new choice. But you must realize that this is all there is. Love or lack of love.” *

~ Mari Perron

Some days it just feels good to know that we can choose. We do have a say in how we feel, when we bring awareness to choose love or fear.

The key is to create an environment so that love grows rather than fear.
We are bombarded by TV, Social and News media. Please turn it off –  if not for ever, then just for a time.
Give yourself the gift of space to touch love, rather than bringing more fear into your life.

What do you choose to create and share in your world?

        If you lived here I’d send you some. Hariod gets two jars at Christmas!

        Here are my jewels. I need to put more online, it just needs photographing and I’ve been run off my feet on the Cloud. I’m making my own website, but for the moment I have this Folksy shop, it’s like Etsy. Thank you for asking dearie *beams*

    Wise words.. It shows how bad the News was getting when one day my Hubby didn’t sit down at his usual time to watch it.. When I asked him had he forgotten the time.. He said.. No.. I am giving it a rest for a few days, its making me feel bad.. 🙂 At LAST! I thought!.. He sees what I have been telling him.. Now he’ll choose to listen to music instead..<3

    Always good to share or communion with you. I believe we are each like drops of rain upon a rock to wear down hate and like water on a pond or ocean creating ripples of repetition of however we behave. May we remember love is the answer. . .💞

    So true and hits home for me right now. Love is so close to fear especially if you have felt rejection by those you loved before. It can be scary to put yourself out there. But can’t let fear build a wall!
